Wow! Over the last couple of weeks I have really enjoyed going through this thread. I am really looking forward to my first Disney cruise in January!

Can anyone tell me the secret to getting good shots of the shows? I have a pretty nice digital camera, a Panasonic with a 12x optical zoom. It allows fully automatic shots, or I can manually set the shutter speed and/or f-stop.

Would you suggest the sport setting? Or any particular shutter speed? What setting to use for the lighting? Other setting?

Thanks so much for your advice!

However you decide to take your pictures please DO NOT use a flash. It is uncomfortable for the cast and ruines it for those who are attempting to watch the show. Had one show I almost walked out on due to the number of people taking flash pictures and the fact that even after being asked not too they would continue. I made the recommendation that Camera not be allowed. Or that the camera of those taking flash pictures be taken until after the show is finished. Using the flash is just plain rude. This is one thing that has put a black mark on my DCL cruises and it has very little to do with DCL. Sorry for the soap box but I will not tolerate it ever again.

I have a Sony Cyber shot, 12 X optical Zoom, and I have a setting on mine called "ISO" It shoots without the flash in low light to reduce the blur. Heres a few pics from it. These were taken from about 1/2 way up the seating so I had to zoom in also.

When did you get this shot? We cruised in September 2007 and it was a different Cinderella.

I would never use a flash during a show. First, it is rude. Second, it is not going to help your shots anyway. A flash is no good if the subject is more than 10-14 feet away.

i manually adjust the shutter speed - taking multiple shots at different speeds so i can pick the right one. the lighting makes it difficult sometimes. a spotlight on one actor can leave them overexposed while the rest of the cast is in the dark.

some pics from the golden mickeys, shot from the last row:
